Abstract
Correlation between an allosteric site and its orthosteric site refers to the phenomenon that perturbations like ligand binding, mutation, or posttranslational modifications at the allosteric site leverage variation in the orthosteric site. Understanding this kind of correlation not only helps to disclose how information is transmitted in allosteric regulation but also provides clues for allosteric drug discovery. This chapter starts with an overview of correlation studies on allosteric and orthosteric sites and then introduces recent progress in evolutionary and simulation-based dynamic studies. Discussions and perspectives on future directions are also given.
